waterproof? The description says it resists mildew etc, so is it waterproof/ resistant?

this fabric allows rainwater through it, only made to cut make the intensity of the sun..

I've had mine for a while and it hasn't mildewed at all. I even accidentally left some water in it over the weekend, and it just needed a little rinsing with dish soap. So I would say mildew isn't a problem!

You would think so, but in the couple years I've had mine, it has stayed damp with no mildew. I do spray it down with the high pressure hose as I wash my car to keep it clean.

No it is not. It keeps leaves and dirt off and is water resistant. Water has not only come through mine but the covers have completely mildewed and are disgusting now. I am throwing them away and I am very disappointed, they are heavy, maybe too heavy as they are very, very difficult to fold up and move.

I was also considering this product for keeping rain out but if it doesn't do that I won't bother... Anybody had any experience with rain? Is it actually waterproof?

No, it is water resistant, not water proof. It can handle rain and sweat but not being submerged

Not sure on mildew, but most definitely NOT fade resistant, I live in SC and keep the hammock outside maybe half the time....not nearly the color it was new...but there is no mildew smell or staining and it has been out through several storms

I would say water resistant. I mean if your protecting from a monsoon rainstorm nothing is going to be waterproof.

I would not advise it - water resistant while cleaning but nowhere does it say it is water proof.

As stated, "WATER RESISTANT & MILDEW RESISTANT MADE FROM 100% COTTON DUCK CANVAS". It will repel a rain shower but l have never used it in a downpour. Searching 'Duck Canvas' represents it as water repellent. Not sure about fire resistance - I only use it when transporting mulch or dirt. I would give this product 10 thumbs up for doing exactly what I bought it for.

I let the wet and forget work on the deck for about 3 weeks. I then wet the deck and used a scrub brush on a pole. the mildew came off easily. I am going to spray the deck again with wet & forget and leave it to the weather.

Mildew resistant , No. Washable , Yes , but only to wipe with a rag or sponge from time to time . Not to be washed in a washing machine or hand washed . Is a good conversation piece though .

Hi Alli, thank you for your inquiry. Our covers are not waterproof, but rather are highly water resistant. We do not manufacture, nor do we recommend completely waterproof covers as they do not allow for proper airflow throughout the cover which in turn can cause mold and mildew to form. If there is anything else that we can assist you with, please let us know.

No, it is not waterproof. I'd say it is resistant to light rain, but it can and does get wet.

I would say it is water resistant. I do not think I would put it in a shower stall with me.

I use mine daily, and I wash it about 3-4 times a month. No mildew issues here, as long as you keep it somewhat clean I don't think you'll have an issue.

Water resistant, I'd say, yes. Waterproof, no. I sent mine through the washer by accident and it had some issues for a few days before completely drying out.
